Heh, I did, but nobody listened, including the telephone manufacturers.

Talk about keys! If they had asked me, I would have wanted area
names *as well as* exchange names, say Vancouver Cedar Cottage instead
of the 604-707-xxxx that I have to use. If I went to Europe, I'd expect
that there might be a conflict with the local names, but I'd be
expecting to have to make lots of other adjustments too, like having to
remember that in South Africa, directions will often state that one must
turn left at the next robot. I'll bet the other 'phone companies are
pretty much as screwed up with their number 'keys' as Bell Canada who
for years couldn't send a single bill if one had two residential 'phone
numbers and maybe still can't for all I know. The only smart thing I
ever saw them do was introduce 'invisible keys' to the 'phone book,
making it easier to lift and thumb through.
